Review: Samsung Chromebook 3

By Anonymous
I purchased the Samsung Chromebook 3 recently on Black Friday. I bought it for use as my computer in high school and college. So far I have used it for about 5 days. I have used it to edit google docs, listen to music on spotify, read the news, and study for quizzes on various topics. It has performed very well even when I am multitasking. The keys are a nice size and are good to type on. The Samsung Chromebook 3 has an 11.6 inch screen and 2gb of ram. The Chromebook also turns on very fast even when it has been fully shut down. The Chromebook also does not have a wide variety of apps and so far can only download applications from the chrome web store. However, the Chromebook is ideal for use in schools and colleges because most of the work that is done currently is done online in Google applications. I recommend the chromebook to people that need a computer that is secure and people that do most of their work online. I would not recommend the chromebook to people that need a lot of downloaded applications. All in all, I rate the chromebook 4.7 our of 5 because the chromebook is lacking in a few features such as an equivalent of the hot corners setting on Macbooks and the ability to have multiple desktops and the ability to swipe between them. Overall, the chromebook is a great computer that is fast and fairly cheap.

    Which one would you rather have: a Chromebook or a macbook? Nice description!

      Definitely a MacBook. Chromebooks are cool but you can't actually install apps on them. The app store and all possible apps are on the Chrome Web Store, which is very limited. Also this Chromebook isn't the fastest and if you had to get a chromebook, I would recommend a chrome book with at least 4 gigabytes of RAM instead of this chromebook's 2GBs of RAM. RAM is a way of measuring the speed of a computer. Our school computers have from 4 to 8 GB, I can't find which. Thanks.

    I totally agree on the Macbook. The chromebook is what I am going to be getting to do work on, and is just suitable for the needs of someone doing work, not anything else.

    Interesting but this seems a little off topic.

      This was a post I wrote a while ago when: "I [Was] planning to temporarily switch the focus of my blog to product reviews until the holiday season is over."

Petzl Adjama Harness Review

By Anonymous
     I recently purchased this harness and used it at EVO Rock and Fitness. This harness is meant for mountaineering and ice climbing but it works fine when sport climbing as well. While I was using the harness, I climbed a few top-rope climbing routes with grades from 5.6 to 5.11 and boulder problems* from VO to V4. The harness was less constricting and allowed for a wider range of motion than all of the other harnesses I have used in the past. Even though people usually remove their harness before bouldering, I decided that because this harness did not restrict my range of movement that I would leave it on. There was no difference between bouldering with this harness on and bouldering with this harness off. There are also many other cool features on this harness. The gear loops for hanging climbing gear (Quickdraws, carabiners, slings, cams, bolts, extra rope, etc.) are filled with hard plastic in the front of the harness so that it is easy to reach your climbing gear. ...

Winter Camping Tips

By Anonymous
Even if you have gone camping many times before (Like me) you should listen to these tips (I didn't and was very cold last weekend). 1. Make sure ALL your gear fits you. I hadn't used my cold weather sleeping bag in about a year before I used it this weekend. It was too small and my shoulders didn't fit in the sleeping bag. 2. DO NOT USE a survival blanket (Like the one I reviewed) unless you are really in a survival situation. I did and my sleeping bag was very wet for the entire weekend. 3. Bring microspikes or a similar kind of crampon. I actually remembered these on my trip and almost everyone else on the trip didn't. I was able to walk on the ground (A huge sheet of ice) without slipping. 4. Have a mummy bag style sleeping bag for winter camping. These are a lot better for winter because they have a hood to go over your eyes. If you go camping a lot you will generally have 2 types of sleeping bags, a mummy bag for cold weather and a different one for warm summ...

Deuter ACT Zero 50+15

By Anonymous
I was given this pack 2 years ago for christmas and have used it on countless trips since. This pack has a lot of room for gear but the pack it self weighs very little. The top part of the pack can be removed and turned into a small summit pack. I use that feature when I want to bring a daypack but don't want to have to bring a whole new pack. This pack is also compatible with most hydration reservoirs. This is a very high quality pack and my only complaint is the lack of sleeping pad/tent straps (This feature is added in the newer version of the pack.) Some pics I took of the pack: The front of the pack without the top on  The back of the pack without the top on The top of the pack converted to the summit pack The back of the pack with the top on
